Oil Smell When I Use The Heater

My car is not leaking or burning oil, why am I smelling this? I notice this when I'm sitting at stoplights only. It's pretty faint. What gives? This is my first winter with the car. If I use AC I don't smell anything.

If you have a 3800, the valve covers are probably leaking a very small amount of oil onto the exhaust manifolds.

 

It would definitely be that or something related to oil dripping onto the exhaust manifolds and burning. I'm having the same problem with my Bonneville due to leaking oil cooler lines.
